Bless You Boys Tigers blog Podcast 61: SWEEP!

Topics:
ALCS SWEEP! The only person not surprised was Allison. Why? She predicted it.
Will we hear more about the Tigers winning or the Yankees losing?

Was the 9th inning of game 1 bungled? Did you think the game, and possibly the series, was over?
How well did Jim Leyland handle the game 1 blow-back?
The Jose Valverde "situation."

We couldn't be happier for disgruntled former Yankee employee Phil Coke!
Can a bullpen by committee continue to work?

Don't be fooled by ALCS MVP Delmon Young.
Will the Tigers risk playing Young in the outfield during the World Series or will the Tigers stay with what has been a very effective platoon?

Speaking of bungling, could the game 4 rain out been handled any worse?

Justin Verlander is good.
So are the other 3 starters in the rotation.

Did the numerous controversies swirling around the Yankees affect their ALCS performance?
Did Yankees manager Joe Girardi deserve the amount of heat he received from the NYC media?

Mike Ilitch has been both reprehensible (pre-2003) and great (post-2003) as the Tigers' owner.

What percentage of saves should a closer be expected to convert?
Any chance Papa Grande is not on the 25 man World Series roster?

Final thoughts includes talk of smashed cable box remotes.

Coke has appeared in 7-of-9 games during the playoffs, matching Jones & Rodney ('06) for the most by a Tiger in one postseason.

Not bad for only having chances for a short while, 3 series 10 wins. Awesome.

October 20 in Tigers and history:

1935 - Hank Greenberg is named American League MVP. Wes Ferrell finishes second in the ballot. Another great year for "Hammerin Hank", as he leads the league in Homeruns 36, RBI with 170, and total bases with 389. Hank is also among the league leading top 3/5/10 in every offensive category.

1947 - Radio rights for the World Series sell for $475,000 for three years. Every franchise but Pittsburgh has sold 1948 TV rights. The New York Giants get $400,000 for radio-TV rights from Chesterfield.
